Mid-Month Update

My husband bought me some tulips and mums and Muffin and Pippi just loved them, a little too much! Pippi broke my tulips!  They(the flowers) now stay in the bathroom with the door closed unless I can keep an eye on them!  Mums are poisonous to cats!  We're moving in October so I don't want to plant them outside.



I seem to have finished more than I realized!  I finished two more scrappy trip alongs this week bringing them to a total of 18!  I'm thinking I really like this layout with the blue cornerstones!
 I have four more strips sewn together and three tubes waiting to be cut and re-pieced!  It is getting scrappier as I go along!
I finished three more great granny squares blocks!
I only have one more to finish all of my blocks!  I have cut out half of my sashing.
 Here is my layout, I'll be working on this today!
 Of course Pippi had to help!
 I got 18 more pinwheels from Plano, TX!
I'll start sewing the pinwheels together next week!

  2. Lots of great progress. When my cat killed the roses my husband bought me he said I was never getting flowers again. The cat now lives in another state and I still have never gotten flowers ever again!

  3. I suppose Pippi was helping with the quilt to make up for the broken tulips? Your granny squares are so cheery in those colors - that's the second blog I have seen today in similar colors - I think it's a sign...

  6. Great blocks! I can't have anything green at cat level at my house either. Tucker eats them or makes a mess trying to get at them for a bite.

  8. Missy, I don't know how you do it. All your quilts are a piece of art. Also, your sewing machines are so awesome. I never knew there was such a thing as a hand crank sewing machine. Hopefully someday I will run into one. Do you keep any of your quilts or are most of them gifts?
